I bought my K10D in August 2007, so I think I got my money's worth. Don't really want any new lenses...but still, it's $1,600 for that body. The 18-135mm I got to play with was nice, and exactly the lens I wanted when I bought the K10D. When Pentax finally release it...my tastes and shooting habits have changed...and I'm all lensed out. I have some images I shot with it on my hard drive, but you can't really tell much about a lens when you're shooting in a dim hall at high ISO. As far as I could tell, it's a good lens; they'll become popular, I'm pretty sure. As for you, my friend, you deserve to buy yourself a K-5 in 2011. May I suggest that you buy it on January 6? I feel it's an appropriate day for such an occasion. --M. -- \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
